About

Purva Joshi is a researcher whose work bridges robotics and precision instrumentation, with a focus on autonomous navigation and thermal control systems. Her most cited paper, "Velocity control of omni drive robot using PID controller and dual feedback" (2016, 12 citations), introduces a novel approach to omnidirectional robot navigation by integrating rotary encoders and laser distance sensors into a dual-feedback PID control system. This work enables mathematically defined path planning—such as straight lines and curves—for four-wheel omni drive platforms, offering enhanced stability and precision in dynamic environments. More recently, Joshi has ventured into cryogenic engineering with her 2025 paper, "Automated device for rapid sample cooling via controlled submersion," which demonstrates her versatility in designing automated systems for scientific applications. Although early in its citation history, this work signals her growing impact in experimental instrumentation. Joshi’s contributions are particularly valuable for students and researchers in robotics and mechatronics, as she provides practical, implementable solutions for real-world control challenges. Her dual expertise in motion control and thermal automation positions her as an emerging innovator in interdisciplinary engineering.
